Baldos whé not“loig fn prtparing 
plans for the changes In the fortress. 
They embodied a temporary readjust- 
ment of the armament and alterations 
in the ammunition house. The gate 
leading to the river was closed, and 
the refuse from the fort was taken to 
the barges by way of the main en- 
trance. There were other changes sug- 
gested for immediate * consideration, 
and then there was a general plan for 
the modernizing of the fortress at some 
more convenient time. Baldos lacon- 
jeally observed that the equipment 
was years behind the times. To the 
amazement of the officials, he was 
able to talk intelligently of forts in 
all parts of the world, revealing a! 
wide and thorough knowledge and ex- 
tensive inspection, He had seen Amer- 
jean as well as European fortifications, | 
The Graustark engineers went to work | 
at once to perfect the simple changes | 
he advised, leaving no stone unturned 
to strengthen the place before an at- 
tack could be made, 

Two, three weeks went by, and the 
new guard was becoming an old story 
to the castle and army folk. He rode 
with Beverly every falr day, and he 
looked at ber window by night from 
afar off in the somber barracks. She 
could not dissipate the feeling that he 
knew her to be other than the princess, 
although he betrayed himself by ne 
word or sign. She was enjoying the 
fun of It too Intensely to expose it to 
the risk of destruction by revealing 
ber true identity to bim. Logically 
that would mean the end of everything, 
No doubt he felt the same and kept 
lis counsel, but the game could not 
last forever, that was certain. A 
month or two more and Beverly would 
have to think of her return to Wash 
ington, 

His courage, bis cool impudence, his 
subtle wit, charmed her more than she 
could express. Now she was begin 
ning to study bim from a standpoint 
pecullarly and seliishly her own. Where 
recently she bad sung bis praise to Ye 
tive and others she now was strangely 
reticent. She was to understand an- 
other day why this chonge had come 
over her, Stories of his cleverness 
came to ber ears from Lerry and An 
guish and even from Dangloes. She 
was proud, vastly proud, of him is 
these days. 

The Iron Count alone discredited the 
ability and the conscientiousness of 
the “mountebank,” as he named the 
man who had put bis nose out of joint. 
Heverly, seeing much of Marlanz, 
made the mistake of chiding him 
frankly and gayly about this aversion. 
Bhe even argued the guard's case be 
fore the head of the army, imprudently 
polnting out many of bis superior qual 
ities In advocating his cause, The 
count was learning forbearance to bis 
old age, Ie saw the wisdom of pro- 
crastination, Baldos was in favor, but 
some day there would come a time for 
his undoing. 

In the barracks he was acquiring 
fame. Reports went forth with unbias- 
ed freedom, He established himself as 
the best swordsman tn the service, as 
well as the most efficient marksman. 
With the folls and sabers he easily 
vanquished the foremost fencers in 
high and low eclireles, He could ride 
like a Cossack or like an American 
cowboy. Of them all, his warmest ad- 
tmlrer was Haddan, the man set to 
watch him for the secret service, It 
may be timely to state that Haddan 
watched In vain, 

The princess, humoring ber own fan- 
cy, a8 well as Beverly's foibles, took to 
riding with ber high spirited young 
guest on many a little jaunt to the 
hills, She usually rode with Lorry or 
Angulsbh, cheerfully assuming the sub- 
dued position befitting a lady-in-walt- 
ing apparently restored to favor on 
probation, She Onjoyed Beverly's 
unique position, In order to maintain 
her attitude as princess the falr young 
deceiver was obliged to pose in the 
extremely delectable attitude of being 
Lorry's wife, 

“Ilow can you expect the paragon to 
make love to you, dear, if he thinks 
you are another man's wife?’ Yetive 
asked, ber blue eyes beaming with the 
fun of it all, 

“Pool!” sniffed Beverly, “You have 
only to consult history to Oud the ex- 
cuse, It's the dear old habit of men to 
make love to queens and get beheaded 
for it. Besides, he is not expected to 
make love to me, How In the world 
did you get that Into your head?’ 

On a day soon after the return of 
Lorry and Anguish from a trip to the 
froutier Beverly expressed a desire to 
emt we monastery of Bt, Valenting 
bigh on the mountain top, It was @ 
jong ride over the circultous route by 
which the steey Incline was avolded, 
and it was necessary for the party te 
make an early start, Yetive rode with 
Harry Avguish and bis wife the count 
ess, while Beverly's companion was the 
gallant Colonel Quinnox, Baldos, rele 
gated to the background, brought up 
the rear with Haddan, 

For a week or more Beverly had been 
bebaving toward Baldos in the most 
cavalier fashion, Her friends had 
been teasing her, and, to her own in- 
tense amazement, she resented It, The 
fact that she felt the sting of their sly 
taunts was sufficient to arouse in her 
the distressing conviction that he had 
become important enough to prove em- 
barrassing. While confessing to her 
self that it was a bit treacherous and 
weak she proceeded to Ignore Baldos 
with astonishing persistency, 
from the teasing, It seemed to her of 
late that he was growing a shade toe 
confident, 

He occasionally forgot his deferential 
air and relaxed Into a very pleasing but 
highly reprehensible state of friendli- 
ness. A touch of the old jauntiness crop- 
ped out here and there, a tinge of the old 
lrony marred big,otherwise perfect mien 


Apart , 


as a s0Mmier. His iwugh was freer, his 
eyes less under subjugation, his entire 
| personality more arrogant. It was 
time, thought she resentfully, that his 
temerity should meet some sort of 
check, 

And, mereover, she had dreamed of 
him two nights In succession. 

How well her plan succeeded may 

best be Illustrated by saying that she 
now was in a most uncomfortable 
frame of mind. Baldos refwed to be 
properly depressed by his misfortune. 
He retired to the oblivion she provided 
and seemed disagreeably content, Ap- 
parently it made very little difference 
to him whether be was in or out of fa- 
vor, Beverly Was in high dudgeon and 
low spirits, 
. The party rode forth at an early hour 
iu the morning. It was hot in the city, 
but It looked cold and bleak on the 
leights, Comfortable wraps were tak- 
en along, and provision was made for 
luncheon at an lon baifway up the 
slope. Quinuox regaled Beverly with 
stories ja which Grenfall Lorry was 
the hero and Yetive the heroine, He 
told her of the days when Lorry, a fu- 
gitive with a price upon his head, 
charged with the assassination of 
Prince Lorenz, then betrothed to the 
princess, lay hidden in the monastery 
while Yetive’s own soldiers hunted 
high and low for him. The narrator 
dwelt glowingly upon the trip from the 
monastery to the city walls one dark 
night when Lorry came down to sur- 
render himself in order to shield the 
woman he loved, and Quinnox himself 
piloted him through the underground 
passage into the very heart of the cas- 
tle. Then came the exciting scene in 
which Lorry presented himecif as a 
prisoner, with the denouement that 
saved the princess and won for the 
gallam American the desire of his 
heart. 

“What @ brave fellow he was!” cried 
Beverly, who never tired of hearing 
the romantic story. 

“Ah, be was wonderful, Miss Cal- 
houn, I fought bim to keep him from 
surrendering. He beat me, and I was 
virtually bis prisoner when we appear- 
ed before the tribunal.” 

“Its no wonder she loved Lim and 
married bim.” 

“He deserved the best that life could 
give, Mise Calboun,” 

“You bad better not call me Miss 
Calhoun, Colonel Quinnox,” sald she, 
looking back apprehensively, “Lam a 
highness once in awhile, don't you 
know?" 

“I implore your bighness’ pardon,” 
anid he gayly. 

The riders abead bad come to a 
standstill aud were pointing off into 
the pass to their right. They were 
eight or ten miles from the city gates 
avd more than halfway up the winding 
road that ended at the monastery gates, 
Meverly and Quinnox came up with 
them and found all eyes centered on a 
small company of men encamped in the 
rocky defile a hundred yards from the 
malin road, 

It needed but a glance to tell her 
who comprised the unusual company. 
‘The very raggedness of their garments, 
the unforgettable disregard for conse- 
quences, the lmpudent ease with which 
they faced poverty aud wealth alike, 
belonged to but one set of men-—the 
vagabonds of the Hawk and Raven, 
HKeverly went a shade whiter, Her ln- 
terest {In everything else dagged, and 
she wes lost In bewllderment. What 
freak of fortune bad sent these men 
out of the fastnesses into this danger- 
ously open place? 

She recognized the ascetic Ravone, 
with bis student's face and beggar's 
garb, Old Frans was there, and so 
were others whose faces and hetero: 
geneous garments had become so fa 
millar to her In another day, The tall 
leader with the red feather, the rak 
jah hat and the black patch alone was 
missing from the picture, 

“It's the strangest looking crew I've 
ever seen,” sald Anguish, “They look 
like pirates.” 

“Or gypslea,” suggested Yetive, “Who 
are they, Colonel Quinnox? What are 
they doing here?" 

Quinnox was surveying the vaga- 
bonds with a critical, suspicious eye, 

“They are not robbers or they would 
be off like rabbits,” be sald reflective 
ly. “Your highness, there are many 
roving bands ta the hills, but I confess 
that these men are unlike any I have 
Seard about, With your permission, I 
will ride down and question them,” 

“Do, Quinnox, 1 am most curious,” 

Beverly sat very still and tense, Bhe 
was afraid to look at Baldos, who rode 
up as Quinnox started into the narrow 
defile, calling to the escort to follow, 
Vhe keen eyes of the guard caught the 
situation at once, Miss Ovlhoun shot 


a quick glance at him as he rode up be 
side ber, His face was lmpassive, but 
she could see his band clinch the bridle 
rein, and there was an air of restraint 
in bis whole bearing, 

“Remember your promise,” he whis- 
pered hoarsely, “No harm must come 
to them.” Then be was off into the de 
file. Anguish was not to be left be- 
hind. He followed, aud then Beverly, 
more venturesome and vastly more in 
terested than the others, rode reck- 
lessly after, Quinnox was questioning 
the laconic Ravone when she drew 
rein. The vagabonuds seemed to evince 
but little interest In the proceedings, 
They stood away in disdainful aloof- 
ness, No sign of recognition passed 
between them and Baldos, 

In broken, jerky sentences Ravone 
explained to the coionel that they were 
a party of actors on their way to Edel 
weiss, but that they had been advised 
to give the place a wide berth, Now 
they were making the best of a hard 


journey to Serros, where they expected H 


but little better success, He produced 
| certain papers of identification, which 
Quinnox examined and approved, much 
to Beverly's secret amazement, The 
princess. gnd the colonel exchanged 


| they were able to put the finishing 


= 


in subdued tones. Yetive looked fur- 
tively at Beverly and then at Baldos, 
as if to inquire whether these men 
were the goat hunters she had come to 
know by word of mouth, The two 
faces were hopelessly noncommittal. | 

Suddenly Baldos' horse reared and 
began to plunge as if in terror, so that 
the rider kept his seat_only by means 
of adept horsemanship. Ravone leaped 
forward and at tte risk of injury 
clutched the plunging steed by the bit. 
Together they partially subdued the 
animal and Baldos swung to the ground | 
at Ravone’s side. Miss Calhoun's horse 
in the mesatime had caught the fever. | 
He pranced off to the roadside before | 
she could get him under control. 

She was thus in a position to observe 
the two men on the ground. Shielded 
from view by the body of the horse 


touches to the trick Baldos bad cleverly 
worked, Beverly distinctly saw the 


change a mere slip of paper. The pa- 
pers disappeared as if by magic, and 
the guard was romounting his horse be 
fore be saw that the act had been de. 
tected, The expression of pain aud de 
spair in Beverly's face sent a cold chill 
over him from head to foot. 

She turned sick with apprehension. 
Her faith had received a stunning blow. 
Mutely she watched the vwagabonds 
withdraw in peace, free to go where 
they pleased, The excursionists turn. 
ed to the main road, BHaldos fell back 
to his accustomed place, his imploring 
look wasted, She was strangely, in- 
explicably depressed for the reat of the

tion. At that time the ym nen-going 
force in home waters fully manned 
was the Channel! fleet of seven or eight 
battleships, and this fleet was the 
training school for young seamen, 
Superb Fleet. 
To-day the Channel fleet combines 
the eight battleships of the King Ed- 
Vit class with six other mod- 
ern battleships and four armo 
cruisers, The Atlantic fleet, based up- 
on Berehaven, will have six battle 
ships and four armored cruisers, while 
the first division of the new home 
floet is a battle squadron comprising 
six ships, with the Dreadnought car- 
rying the flag, and a group of armor- 
ed cruisers, known as the fifth squad- 
ron, fit to lie in the line of battle 
with the German fleet. 

The skilled men on board will be 
carried throughout the commission 
a number exceeding three-fifths o 
the crew; the unskilled men shipped 
on board will not be moved more of- 
ten than every eight months, In ad- 
dition to these squadrons are four 
flotillas of destroyers, forty-eight craft 
in all, and about thirty submarines. 

Ready For War. 

It stands to reason that so great an 
addition to the actual fighting strength 
of the navy, instantly ready for war, is 
only obtained by extracting from the 
whole navy greater exertion, longer 
hours, and more work than was 
thought necessary ten or even three 
years ago, This, coupled with the ces- 
sation of foreign battleship-building 
for eighteen months, is the true rea 
son why 4 stronger navy at a smaller 
cost ls possible at the praesent time.

In Order to Enable Effective Mount- 
ing ef Big Guns They Must Be 
Placed So As to Fire On Either 
Breadside—This Means Doom of 
Steam Engines—Problem Already 


Pcoking cralt if de- 
craft 

Stone tatzh have been worked out 
rove practicable. The Institution of 

aval Architects has been holding a 
conference in London this week, and 
one of, if not the most important, 1 
per read and discussed was one which 
dealt with “the influence of machin- 
ery on the gun power of the modern 
warship,” and showed that if the large 
guns are to be effectively mounted 
they must all be placed so as to fire 
on either broadside. 

In the Dreadnought of the ten 
twelve inch guns only eight can fire 
on either broadside. To enable all ten 
to fire with the utmost effect it was 
shown that the funnels must be abol- 
ished and also all deck erections. But 
if the funnels are to be eliminated 
steam can no longer be used, and 
the boiler must go. 


, The great firm of Vickers have faced 
MISS DORA HAYDEN this fact and after three years of al-

A Case of Spring Catarrh 

Mrs, N. P. Lawler, 423) N. Broadway, 
Pittsburg, Kas, writes: “Last spring I 
caught a severe cold, which developed 
into a serious case of catarrh, I felt 
weak and «ick, and could neither eat 
hor sleep well. 

“A member of our club who had beer 
cured of catarrh through the use of 
Peruna advised me to try it, and I did 
so at once, I expected help, but noth- 
ing like the wonderful change for the 
b tter I observed almost as soon as } 
s.arted taking it. In three days I felt 
much better, and within two weeks 1 
was in fine health, Peruna is a won 
derful medicine.” 


Admiral Sir KE. who 
opened the discussion, deprecated the 
adoption of too hasty a generalization 
from the result of one battle—mean- 
ing that of the sea of Japan. He re- 
membered the bat'le of Lissa, and 
because one vessel was rammed an 
sunk there, every warship for thirty 

‘eare was fitted with a monatrosity on 
te bows called a ram, which had sunk 
many a friend but never a foe. With 
regard to the adoption of oil as fuel, 
he wondered what would happen if 
& shell came into the oil reservoir; 
whether the oil would all run out, if 
it did not explode, and the ship 
would be left with: it fuel; or, if one 
set of tanks escaped, there would be 
a heavy list to one side, 

Admiral Sir C. Noel said if the ma- 
rine gas engines foreshadowed could 
be produced there was no doubt they 
would be of great value, because they 
would give ships a higher speed and 
4 much wider radiua of action. 

Counts Up Advantages. 

Admiral Sir E. Fremantle observed 
there could be no question of the ad- 
vantages which would ensue if bat 
tleship decks could be cleared of the 
ineumbrance of funnels and similar 
appliances necessary with steam en- 
gines, One of the things which would 
result would be that ships would net 
be liable to a sudden reduction (n 
speed from the destruction of funnels. 
Internal combuation engines would 

t rid of that, but it was usually 
ound that with all improvements in- 
troduced there was generally an in- 
crensed porsibility of damage and dis- 
aster 

Sir William White pointed out that 
in attempting to reduce the diameter 
and the weight of turrets the exposed 
portion of the guns waa liable to de- 
struction, At the battle of Tsushima 
this portion in some cases had been 
shot ontirely away. With regard to 
oil or gaa engines he believed their 
day was coming. 

Lieut. A. T. Dawson believed the 
advent of gaz engines for marine use 
was nearer than Sir William White 
and many more appeared to realize. 

Lent In London, 

There have been more marriag ss 
during Lent this year than for man; 
pean. This is shown in society getting 
eos observant of the Lenten season 
than was the case when there was a 
sort of decorous attention to high 
church feelings even when they were 
not personally shared, 

This year ritualiste are keeping 
Lent with more severity than are the 
Roman Catholics, for, owing to the 
provelanss of influenza, the fatter are 

rgely dispensated from fasting. On 
the other hand, a certain ritualist who 
is nllied to the “half rage” told a 
friend that in Lent she never dined 
out, ate meat, drank wine, or had 
ew ar in tea, that she attended church 
twice daily, went to confession week- 
ly had no pillow on her bolster, and 
rose the instant she was called in 
the peoreing. 

Whether that be only a ease of ex- 
treme self-martyrdom is not known, 
but it would seem that the fierce 
strictures of Father Vaughan on the 
wit cedness of the “amart set” is hav- 
ing some effect in certain sections of 
society where reform of a most serious 
character is in progress, Bridge is 
giving way to a brief lectures and 
eardroams are salons.

RARE BOGUS GEMS. 


Small Rubles and Sapphires Enlarged 
to Any Size. 


* The discovery of a Parisian manu- 
facturer who is making rubies and 
sapphires of la size by an ingen 
ious process is likely to cause trouble 
among English, as it has done already 
among French, jewelers and dealers 
in precious stones. 

A London gentleman, who has 
learned the secret of the process from 
the manufacturer himeelf, said that 
these rubies and sapphires are made 
by taking the reninants of cut stones, 
and also small and badly shaped 
stones, which by themeelves are of 
little value, and making them up by 
means of the electrical furnace and 
— moulds to any size re 
quired. 


“L have seen rubies and sapphires 
thos manufactured ranging in size up 
to half an inch,” he said. “Them 
stones are called ‘constructed’ rubie 
and ‘constructed’ sapphires, and they 
possess all the quality of the origina 
stone, Indeed, the only way to de 
tect the difference between the ‘con 
structed’ and original stone is to lool 
“t the grain, or ‘silk,’ aa jeweler 
eall it, through a powerful micros 


cope 

“The ‘silk’ is straight in the origina 
stone, and curly or cloudy in th 
‘conatructed’ one. A firm of Londo 
pawnbrokers advanced more tha 
$2,000 a month ago on a ‘constructed’ 
ruby. Of course, it was not worth any- 
thing like $500; but that was the mar- 
ket price of an original stone of the 
same size. The ratio of value-between 
the ‘constructed’ and origina! stone 
is about two-fifths 

“You can see, however, that one ia 
perfectly anfe in wearing these stones 
T am told that the ruby trade in Ene 
Ind in already suffering in anticipa- 
tion, for jewelers, who are fully aware 
of the existence of these ‘constructed’ 
stones, aleo know that large onant! 
ties of them will soon appear in the 
English markets.” 


Germany and Peace. 

Unless an agreement can be rench- 
ed by Germany and Great Britain re 
garding the latter's proposal to limit 
armaments, The Hague Peace Confer 
ence will probably a complete fi 
an 


co. 

The Russian Government is report 
ed to be greatly discouraged at the 
result of Prof. de Martens’ tour of 
the European courts, on behalf of the 
(rar, to urge the particination of the 
Powers in his scheme of disarmament 

Tt is atated on reliable authority 
that Germany objecta to Great Bri 
tain’a proposal for the limitation of 
armaments, and demands ita with 
drawal, Shovld Germany be succens 
ful in this, Great Britain will prob 
ably withdraw from the conference 
and Ahe United States may do like 
wire, 

If Great Britain's proposal is mein 
tained on the program of the confer 
ence, it is probable that Germany 
and, perhaps, Austria, will withdraw 

The Crar is reported to be endeavor 
ing to secure an agreement between 
Great Britain and Germany on thir 
point, and he is in personal com 
munication with the Kaiser, 


Eton's Odd Punishment. 

A new form of punishment ha 
been adopted at Eton College. Offend 
ers against the school rules have now 
to write a certain number of “lines” 
with the left hand. The scheme has 
met with general approval among the 
governing body, though it is said that 
some boys would rather be birched 
than have to undergo the new pen- 
ance, 

The headmaster, the Hon, and Rev, 
KE. Lyttelton, who is a great believer 
in ambidexterity, is of opinion that 
everyone should he taught to use the 
left hand. If the left side was not as 
active as the right, the left side of 
the brain was affected, Writing with 
the left hand would have & good ef- 
feet upon the brain, and there would 
be no such thing a8 writer's eramp 
The boys will not be kept in school 
longer than ot, were formerly, and 
the number of lines allotted will be 
much fewer, 

A number of boys, it is said, are 
praetsiog the art of writing with the 
left hand during their leisure time.

A TURN of THE 
WHEEL. Je 


By Constance D'Arcy Mackay. 
1907, by Comatance D'A 
Copyright, PJ rey 


It was summer in Ballymoran—tong 
days of bine and white and green, the 
blue of the aky, the white of drifting 
clouds and the bright green of the 
Irish turf. Gorse rose golden in the 
fields; wild roses bloomed by the 
hedges, fragile and exquisite, yet full of 
nares for the unwary. Many an eager 
child plucked at them only to with- 
draw a seratched finger. 

Terry O'Rourke, looking up from his 
potato patch, philosophically observed 
that “thim flowers were as sharp as 
they were swate, ivry one o' thim,” 
and then.smiled to himself, thinking 
of Clodah Mulvaney. Hazel eyed she 
was, with red brown hair, cheeks like 
& wild rose and temper as keen edged 
as the prickliest thorn. 

“Yet, faith, what matter about the 
thorns,” said Terry, “if the rose be 
worth the winning!” 

He was as quiet and determined as 
Clodah was hasty, and If, aa his neigh- 
bors declared, he was a bit slow In his 
lovemaking he was none the leas sure, 
‘True, he bad a dangerous rival in Jim 
Hagan, who had lately fallen hetr to a 
legacy and who had spent the half of 
it on a brand new jaunting car fit for 
the mayor himeelf, It was in this that 
Jim had begged Clodah to accompany 
him to the Guimullet fair, some ten 
miles distant, 

“Thank re kindly, Jim,” she anawer- 
ed, “but I've promised to go with Ter- 
ence.” 


“Well, thin, It's myself that will 
have to ride alone,” sighed Jim discon. 
wolately, “for, sure, there’s no one In 
Ballymoran who can take your place 
at all at all.” 

The night before the fair Clodah and 
Terry sat before her door discussing 
the joys of the morrow, 

“We'll start early,” aaid he, “and be 
back by nightfall.” 

“And I'll wear my best dress, with 
the blue ribbons,” said Clodah, “and 
keep my coat in the back o’ the cart.” 

“IT mistrust ye'll have to bold it on 
your lap, mavourneen,” said Terry, “on 
account o° the pig.” 

“Pigt" eried Clodah, 

“I'm going to take the pig along tn 
the back o° the cart. ‘Tin a foine price 
I'm expecting to get for her, and” — 

“Terry O'Rourke,” shrieked Clodah, 
“do ye think I'd ride in a cart with a 
pier” 

“You've done it before.” 

“Niver with my best dress on.” 

“Lave your best dreas at home, thin,” 
ald Terry humoroualy, 

Clodah saw no humor in his remark. 

“You can choose betwain us.” ahe 
sald hougbtily, “WI ye take me or 
will ye take the pig?’ 

“But, Clodah, girrul, be reasonable. 
The pig can do yo no harm, She's as 
clean a8 an angel and as well behaved, 
and ‘tle my only chance o' selling her.” 

Clodah stamped her foot, 

“I've given ye your cholee, Terry 
O'Nourke, Once and for all, which will 
ye taker" 

Terry waa vaually slow to anger, but 
how a danger spark burned In bis eyes, 

“I'll take the pig.” he aaid, 

Clodah flew inside and banged the 
door, 

Next morning she passed Terry's cab- 
in, riding with Jim Hagan in bis jaunt 
Ing car, Her mustin drews was as blue 
fs the eky, aod ite many ribbons fut- 
tered In the wind. Terry was out in 
his garden, and Clodah feigned not to 
we him, though Jim glanced round 
with a look of triumph, 

“Tlow are ye, Terry?’ be called out. 
“'Tia a foine day for the fair.” 

And they rattled gayly down the 
road, the new yellow wheels of the 
Jaunting car shining tn the sun. 

Terry gazed after them, All the 
brightness seemed gone from life. It 
was oe if the candle of his happiness 
had been blown out, leaving him in ut- 
ter darkness, “‘Twas a wise man,” 
he muttered, “who sald that fortune 
was a fickle jade, A turn of her 
wheel-and where are ye now, Terry 
O'Rourke?" 

Then be harnessed up slowly, put the 
pig in the cart and took the road for 
Gulmullet. 

There was no one to see Clodah 
drive out of Ballymoran save a few 
old women and children, The reat 
of her neighbors had risen with the 
dawn and set out for thelr fair hours 
ago, Clodah, being of two minds 
whether to go or not, had kept the 
ardent Jim waiting till she reached a 
conclusion, Now they rolled swiftly 
along in order to make up for lost 
time, The road was almost deserted 
rave in the distance, where there were 
a few tardy wayfarera like themselves, 
And these, too, having the start of 
them, soon vanished. Clodah was con- 
tented enough. She felt that she was 
looking her best, and if she had any 
doubts on that score Jim's fluent tongue 
would have reassured her, She an- 
swered bis lovemaking with laughing 
banter, and he was declaring for the 
twentieth Ume that he would make 
the kindest husband tn the world when 
the Jaunting car gave an abrupt lurch, 
and Clodab found herself sitting on 
one side of the road, while Jim seram- 
bled up from the other, He did not 
even pause to ask her if she was hurt. 

“Oh, be the powers,” he ejaculated, 
“look at my foine ear! The wheel's 
off, rulned entolrely,” 

“If it's the wheel that’s troubling 
ye" But Clodah’s earcasm was lost 
on him, 

“My foine car!" he cried over and 
over again, From where they stood 
it was five miles to Ballymoran and 
five to Gulmullet, The flelds and bogs 
atrecehed away unbrokenly to the sky 
line, ‘There was pot a cabin in sight, 

“Well, can't ye do something?” said 
Clodah, Her ankle was paining her, 
and the sun was very warm, 

But Jim was better at repartee than 
at meeting emergencies, and with his 
head on one side he considered the 
situation, 

“I'm thinking we'll have to foot it,” 
be said gloomily, 

There was a sob in Clodah's voice, 

“My ankle’s wrenched, and ‘tls not 
a step further I'll go,” she avowed, 

“You sit here thin and I'll go for 
help,” said Jim, his face brichtening, 


try full o' vagabonds! That's a grand 
idea, Mr. Jim Hagan, to leave me alone 
entirely by myself!’ 

Jim wilted. 

“What'll we do, thin?’ he demanded, 

“We'll sit here till some one comes,” 
said Clodah, 

So they sat. Birds sang in the long 
meadow grass. A hare flitted by like 
a shadow. Nothing else stirred. The 
road stretched away’ white and desert- 
ed. Tim moodily scanned the horizon, 
and Clodah wondered if the sunlight 
would fade her ribbons. She wished 
devoutly that she had never come. 
Who could have supposed that her 
pleasure jaunt would end like this? 

She cast a quick glance at Jim. The 
great, unfeeling ufmathaum! Never 
once had he asked her how she felt or 
if her fall had shaken her! Ah, Terry 
was the lad! Terry always knew what 
to do! And she had lost him—lost 
him through her own folly! Well, 
there was no good In thinking of that 
how, and she blinked hard to keep 
back the tears. It was near noon. 
Her throat was parched, and the pangs 
of hunger were astir. The sullen al- 
lence of Jim wore on her. 

“Why don't ye aay something,” she 
burst out, “Instead o° sitting there atar- 
ing like a bump on a log?” 

“Whist, Clodah, here's some one 
coming at last!” 

Through a cloud of dust appeared a 
tickety little cart drawn by a gray 
donkey. Terry was on the front seat. 
The pig rode stolidly behind. At sight 
of their plight Terry halted. Clodah 
hung ber head and could not mites her 
eyes, It was Jim who spoke first, 

“We're in a fine meas,” anid he. “The 
wheel's broke, and Clodah's hurt her 
ankle.” 

“Has she now?" erted Terry, a note 
of anxiety in his votce, 

“*Tis not so painful whin T ait etill,” 
sald Clodah, “but ‘tis like the curse of 
all the crows whin I try to walk.” 

“I'll tell ye the best way out,” sald 
Terry. “I'll take Clodah with me to 
the fair, and thin I'll send some one to 
help ye with your Jeunting car. How 
will that be suiting ye?’ 

There seemed no other way, and Jim 
muttered that it would sult him vecy 
well, 

“And you, Clodah?” 

“If—If ye will take me,” she said 
hombly, 

“Here's a plece o’ bread for ye, Jim,” 
sald Terry, “and a bit o' goat's cheese, 
DBelike it will ahtay your honger till 
help arrives. Doo't ate it too fast,” he 
called back after he had helped Clodah 
up on to the seat beside him—don't 
ate it too fast, for ‘tle rich and likely 
to give ye the dyapepata.” 

For awhile Clodah and Terry rode tn 
silence, Then, “Clodah, girl,” said 
Terry tenderly, “'tia a churl 1 am at 
times, but I meant nothing by tt. Wil 
ye forgive me for what I seid last 
night?" 

“Forgive ye,” erled Clodah—“forgive 
ye! Oh, Terry, I'd rather ride with you 
and fifty pigs than with Jim Hagan 
and a coach and four!"

the suppression of the Society of Jesus 
in Tussia, when most of the Jesuit

combinations, give all the varying hues 
of sky and sea, of mountain and val

The English law has adopted tn this 
respect a law of Roman and even 
Athenian origin, by which the ages of

marriageablo ages of males and fe- 
males, respectively, In Italy the ege 
fa fixed by the civil code at eighteen 
and fifteen, Formerly the age of spous-

not considered perfect, for the parties 
might disagree to it when they ar- 
rived at the mature age of twelve or

the earlier Swinburne practically 
praised lust as an expression of the 
love of life, Poets lke Mr, Rudyard 
Kipling practically praised cruelty as 
an eapression of the love of life. Poets 
like Mr, Henley and Mr, John David-

CLEOPATRA. 


The Story of Her Death From the Bite 
of an Asp. 

Tt is admitted that Cleopatra killed 
herself to avoid being exhibited at 
Rome tn the triumph of Octavius, who 
had made war upon her and Antony be 
cause the latter had divorced his (Oc 
tavius’) sister on the queen's account, 
But did she die from a snake's bite? 
It is better to think not, “If her death 
had been caused by any serpent, the 
small viper would rather have been 
chosen than the large asp, but the 
story is disproved by her having deck- 
ed herself In the royal ornaments and 
being found dead without any marks 
or suspicion of poison on her body,” 

Death from a serpent’s bite could not 
have been mistaken, and her vanity 
would not have allowed her to choose 
one which would have disfigured her 
In so frightful a manner, 

Other poisons were well understood 
and easy of access, and no boy would 
have ventured to carry an asp in a 
basket of figs, some of which he even 
offered to the guards as he passed, and 
even Plutarch shows that the story of 
tho asp was doubtful, Nor ts the statue 
carried in Augustus’ triumph, which 
had an asp upon it, any proof of bis 
belief In it, since the snake was the 
emblem of Egyptian royalty, The 
statue (or the crown) of Cleopatra 
could not have been without one, and 
this was probably the origin of the 
whole story,

A CLEVER STORY. 


An Interesting and Amusing Anecdote 
of a Famous Author. 

Sara K. Wiley, a giri friend of the 
ever jamented Frank Stockton, has 
contributed to the Ladies’ Home Jour- 
nal for April some very interesting and 
eminently characteristic anecdotes of 
the well beloved author. On the now, 
alas, forever to be unraveled mystery 
of the “Lady or the Tiger?’ Mise WI- 
ley has this to say: 

“Then he told me of the thousands 
of letters he had received about ‘The 
Lady or the Tiger?’ and how once ata 
reception the hostess offered him two 
ices, one shaped like a lady and one 
like a-tiger. 

“What did you do? 

“‘T refused them both.’ 

“T longed Intensely to ask the fateful 
question, hesitated and sought a wom- 
anly compromise, ‘Do-you—do you— 
know, yourself? 

“My dear! he sald ernvely, ‘it rests 
with your own character, Each one 
muet decide it for himeelf. If you 
yourself feel that the tier came out of 
that door, then for you he did come 
out’ 

“We did not expect that this would 
be tested the next day, The lady at 
whose cabin Mr. Stockton waa visiting 
gave for him an afternoon tea. The 
room was crowded with questa when 
4 youthful and eccentric artist burst 
suddenly In, with long hate fying wild. 
ly, and, blocking Mr. Stockton'a alight 
figure into a corner by his barly form, 
cried aloud: 

“'Now, Tam a bigger man than you 
are! You've got to tell me which came 
out of that door, the lady or the tiger!’ 

“It was rather an embarrassing mo- 
ment, for the onslaught waa almost 
rude. Slowly Mr. Stockton rmileed bie 
quiet eves to the heated face and, gen: 
tly shaking bia head, sald very pity 
ingly: 

“*You're too young to know,’ 

“The artist disappeared, overcome, 
atald roars of laughter.”

Hints For Pressing a Gkirt and Alter- 
ing Skirt Patterns, 

When pressing a skirt out ft te al 
ways ndvisable to lay a damp cotton 
cloth over the material, so that It ts 
hot touched by the tron, This prevents 
the material from becoming shiny, 
while it obviates any fear of its being 
scorched, 


When altering a skirt pattera whieb 
is too narrow over the hips, care must

be taken to avold enlarging It at the 


front width, Skirt patterns may be 
shortened by making a fold of the su- 
perfluous length across the middle of 
the pattern, They should never be 
altered at the top or bottom of the 
skirt, 

If rubbed gently with breaderumba 
after each wearing, gloves will remain 
clean much longer than would other 
wise be the case, Fold them tn tlasue 
paper when not In use, 

Here is a way of fastening a blouse 
or alip that hooks up the back without 
any one's assistance, The blouse ts 
put around the shoulders, with the 
back to the front, the sleeves belng left 
free, It Is thea fastened from top to 
bottom in this way, with the exception 
of the hooks at the neck, which can be 
euslly reached, The blouse is then 
turned around and the arms slipped 
into the sleeves without much strain 
on the fastenings, It must, of course, 
be understood tbat only an unlined 
blouse can be treated in this fashion.

“Why will farmers worth from $5,- 
000 to $10,000 work for 5 cents an 
hour? Hlow can a man who has had 
enough to make a good living for him- 
self and family and lay up money be- 
sides be content with stich a wage even 
for a portion of the day?” asked State 
Dairy Commissioner R, M. Washburn 
at the meeting of the Missouri Dairy- 
men's association and replied: “This 
very thing is being done every day by 
men who keep in the dairy cows that 
pay thelr owner only $5 a year after 
they have paid their board. There are 
thousands of such being kept. They 
fre those shallow bodied, long legged 
creatures, such as ‘the money losing 
cow. This cow when put to a care. 
ful test was not able to make butter 
for less than 13.8 cents a pound. This 
is for food only and does not include 
care or barn rent. The cow got all the 
food she would eat, but she was not 
able to eat enough over and above that 
which was required to keep her own 
body to enable her to do economical 
work. Why waste labor on such an 
animal when the same stable and same 
care with a cow such as ‘the money 
making éow’ will make a good profit? 
This cow made butter for 4.27 cents 
per pound. The net profit on her tn 
one year was 885.17. While caring for 
fa cow of this kind the farmer will be 
making about 90 cents an hour, or at 
the rate of $0 a day.” 

Breeding Too Young. 

Another step toward success in bulld- 
ing up your dairy herd—do not breed 
any heifer until she is nearly or quite 
two years old, Let the heifer grow 
aud make her body as large and her 
constitution as strong as can be be- 
fore the demands of motherhood and 
of a milk producer are placed upon ber. 

I realize that there are those who 
will tell us that the dairy qualities 
will be lost or Injured by this delay. 
Nonsense! You have only to see the 
injury that bas been done by breeding 
too young. You have only to notice 
the weak, frall, undersized creatures 
in the average farmyard that they call 
cows and realize how easily these are 
subject to tuberculosis and every other 
ill that bovine Mesh is heir to when the 
full importance of my claim will ap- 
pear, 

The leading cause of all thie trouble 
fa breeding the heifers too young, and 
the balance can be charged to inbreed 
ing. We need not make elther mis 
take, Whichever dairy breed you ne- 
leet do not inbreed and do not breed 
any bhelfer under two years of age, 
writes B. PF. Pember in Maine Farmer,

representative of the breed, These an- 
imals are noted for their vigor and 
ability to produce guvod returns in milk 
and butter, The average weight of the 
cows Is about 1,000, while the bulls 
range in weight from 1400 to 1,800 
pounds, The predominating colors are 
red and white, variously arranged io 
spots, but not mixed, The cows are 
of quite nervous temperament and 
somewhat quarrelsome, It ia best 
therefore to dehorn them when they 
are kept tn herda, 


Handling and Gelecting a Bull, 

At the meeting of the Maine Dairy- 
men's association Professor Gowell 
suggested some ways of handling a 
nervous bull, “The best scheme that I 
have seen,” sald he, “te that at the 
Billings farm in Vermont, where a 
five-eighths inch wire cable seventy- 
five feet long is anchored at both ends 
and stretched about alx feet above the 
ground, Sliding pulleys permit the an- 
imal to walk or run seventy-five feet 
and return as many times as he cares 
to, A similar plan ts adopted at the 
college, only the length of play ts lim- 
ited to the length of the pen. In select- 
ing a bull choose ope whose mother 
and both grandmothers have each 
wielded above 800 pounds of fat for 
several years in succession. Then look 
for vigor and strength and evidence of 
function in the Individual and see that 
among bis relatives there are no weak- 
lings, Be sure that he bas a good skin, 
soft and of fair thickness, I am afraid 
of a very thin skin; beware of a bard 
one, If he got me a lot of heifers that 
developed into good cows, I would keep 
him as long as | could without inbreed- 
ing far enough to Interfere with the 
strength and size of his get.”

Mixed His Lines. 

The manager of the great war drama 
was furious, 

“Blockhead!" be thundered as he 
rushed into the theatrical office. “What 
do you mean by sending me an actor 
who used to work tp the kitchen of a 
cook house?” 

“Tlow do you know he used to work 
in the kitehen of a cook house?’ fal- 
tered the agent. 

“How do I know? Why, in the battle 
scene outside of the fortress Instead of 
sheoming ‘Scale the walls! the num: 
A skull bellowed ‘Scale the fsb!” 


Planting Seedlings Usually Costs Less 
and Is More Satisfactory. 

Reproducing a forest by sowing the 
seed directly on the area to be put in- 
to.trees is feasible. It is, however, 
a method little used on this continent 
up to the present, for it has been 
found that the cost has been as great, 
as least, an that of planting, owing to 
the high price of seed and the culti- 
vation which must be given to the 
ground to be sown. 

A good seed bed is just as impor. 
tant for sowing forest tree seeds on 
as it is for sowing grain on. Hence 
the whole area on which it is pro 

to sow tree seed must be care- 

ully cultivated, instead of only a 
small portion as in planting. 

A great objection to seeding, at 
resent, is the high price of seed and, 
n the case of some species, its scare 

iy at any price. The present price 
of white pine seed, for example, is 
$2 to $2.50 per pound. In Germany 
it is customary to sow six pounds of 
white pine seed to the acre, Thu 

the expenditure for seed alone woul 

be $12 to $15. Still, it would be pos- 
sible to do with smaller quantities of 
seed, though in this country ao little 
sowing has been done that we hardly 
have a standard to go by. 

Another disadvantage of seeding is 
that we can never count on gettin 
a good mixed crop of trees by o 


ing. 

To avoid the expense of cultivating 
the whole area, various plans have 
been tried. Often amall spots (seed- 
spots) are carefully worked, and the 
seed sown in these. These apota may 
vary in area from one aquare foot to 
80 square feet, the best land being 
selected, of course, in every case. 
Again, furrowa may be ploughed at! 
some distance apart and the need 
sown in them; or strips, several feet 
in_ width, may be prepared 

For nut trees, auch as chestnut, 
onk, hickory and beech, seeding is! 
the best way of reproduction. These! 
trees make a vigorous root growth 
and are very awkward to handle, 
even during their firet year, So thel 
best way to do is to sow the nutes! 
right on the aren on which you want) 
the trees, provided you can keep away; 
equirrela and such animals. 

The depth of the covering of soil 
fa another point of importance. It 
will usually be found sufficient to 
cover the seeds to the depth of the 
longest diameter of the seed, 

Cultivation of Onions, 

Onions grow and make a crop on 
any soil that will produce corn and 
potatoes, but on etiff clay, very light 
sand, or on some kinds of swamp 
muck one cannot produce a large 
crop. The mixed goila, like clay 
loam, sandy loam, and the under- 
drained and redeemed awamp muck 
lands are most favorable for » inaxi- 
mum erop 

Well-rotted manure, and if it has 


been composted to destroy the weed 
seeds all the better, should be used, 
and that, too, in liberal quantities, 


If it ean be applied in the fall, and 
plowed in, all the better, Hen man- 
ure is very valuable for this particular 
crop, and should be applied on the 
surface in the spring of the yoar, and 


VELLOW DANVEMS ONIONS 


worked in with a light harrow or rake, 
As hinted above, the preparation of 
the ground can very advantageously 
begin the autumn before, by manur- 


ing and plowing. If the ground is 
plowed in the spring it should be 
done as early as practicable, culti- 
vated, then harrowed with a light 
smoothing harrow, and all refuse, 


sticks, stems of previous cropa, lumps 
and stones removed, 

There is a wide range of varietion 
to select from and the kind used can 
be selected to suit the conditions of 
the raiser, If ove has but little time 
to devote to the crop, the multipliers 
or the button, or top onion, can be 
uned to advantage, If one wishes to 
raise §=conaiderable uantities, the 
peed ‘a beat to use, prefer sowing 
in a hothouse or hotbed in February, 
and transplanting t© garden or field 
alter the ground has become warm. 

If need is sown in the fleld, a hand 
drill with a roller attached in a good 
tool to use. The seed should be cov- 
ered about half an inch deep and in 
rows 1 foot apart, if euttiveting and 
hoeing are to be done by hand, If 
a horse is to be used, 14 inches apart 
will be convenient, 

When the multipliers, or button on- 
fons, are planted, a shallow trench 
ean dug, the onions or buttons 
dropped from 4 to 6 inches apart in 
the trench and covered rapidly by 
hand, leaving the top out of ground, 
The hothouse planta can be put in 
rapidly along a line by using a stick 
like the crooked end of an umbrella 
handle. Make the hole, put in the 
little planta and stab down on front 
and back side of it to preas the dirt 
againat It The plant ean then be 
left until first posing. 

Hoeing should be begun with the 
onions that are set very soon after 
they are out, in order to kill the weeds 
before they get out of the ground 
The work should be done thoroughly, 
working close up to the plant, When 
necessary, the dirt ean be fixed around 
the plant with the hand 

Where seed has been sown, the hoe 
should be used carefully as soon as 
the onions come in sight, Then in a 
few days hoe again and up close to 
the plants, afler which the weeding 
by hand must be begun. When hoe 
ing and weeding the third time, thin- 
ning should be attended to, leaving 
the plants 2 or 3 inches apart, Hoe 
and weed as often and as many times 
as is necessary to prevent the growth 
of any weeds, A crop of onions and 
a crop of weeds cannot be grown at 
the same time and in the same bed, 

Fooled the Carpenter, 

A carpenter called at a fat to make 
some repairs and knocked on the dove, 

“Who's there?” asked a voice, 

“The carpenter,” was the reply, 

“Come in,” was the response, 

‘The carpenter tried the door, but it 
was locked, 

“Open the door,” said the carpenter 

“Ilaw, haw, baw!" came the voice 


from the Inside, 
The curpenter was getting very mad, 
Then the woman who lives (o the flat 


on the opposite side opened her door 
and sald; 
“There la no one at home there ex- 
t the parrot,”~New York Globe,

Moat energetic efforts were put forth

Haldane’s 
Girl. 


By NELLIE CRAVEY GILLMORE. 


Copyright, 197, by Mary McKeon. 


Haldane whistled merrily as he 
tossed the onyx paperweight aside. 
slammed books and papers into draw 
ers regardless and closed his desk with 
such a brisk snap that the man in the 
next office looked up In surprise, Sure 
ly something was “in the wind.” Mal 
dane had never before been so buoy 
ant, so triumphant. 

Just ten minutes earlier the office 
boy had laid a fragrant, cream colored 
envelope at his elbow containing a few 
hasty lines, which read as follows: 

Dear Dick—Cannot you run down this 
afternoon and help us out with some ta- 
blieaux? There's to be a mock wedding, 
too—Chinese-and we have picked you out 
for the bridegroom, If you can come, 
come; if not, phone, Hastily yours, 

THBODORA, 

Haldane jerked out his watch impa- 
tlently, fumed at the whole bour that 
must elapse before be could get a Sun- 
ny Villa car and set to work Jamming 
things Into a band satchel—bis kodak, 
the latest magazine, an extra pair of 
gloves and a box of bonbons—for The- 
odors, Then he telephoned to his 
“man” about his sult case and aa lel 
surely as his exuberance would allow 
him closed and locked his office door 
and sauntered across the hall to a fel 
low colleague's office, 

The door stood ajar, and the room 
was quite deserted, but Haldane, with 
the ease of a long Intimacy, sat down 
in Treacott's revolving chair and began 
to finger the latter's pencila, 

After a time he glanced up with a 
smile directly into the shadowed brown 
eyes of a girl whose face was star 
tingly familiar, his girl, He looked 
from the pieture to the door, then back 
again to the picture, His cheeks whit- 
ened; his face indexed a variety of 
painfal emotions. Even a casual ob 


server might have detected that he 
had been struck hard, He reached up 
a trembling hand and drew the photo

despair in his beart eat regarding the

Suddenly Trescott taterrupted his 
daze, swinging breeally into the room 
and tossing his hat on a table in the 
corner, 

“Hello!” he erled, “What's the trou- 
ble? You look green.” 

Ilaldane stared gloomily at the oppo- 
elite wall and did his level best to 
speak, But bis lips remained mute; the 
color seemed squeezed out of them, 
‘Trescott came up to him and lald an 
affectionate hand on his shoulder, 

“Anything gone wrong, old man?” he 
asked, concerned genuinely at the oth: 
er's allence, 

Haldane squirmed away from his 
touch, his eyes flashing, “Lord,” he 
thought, “if | can Just get out of this 
without smashing bia face!"

“I've had some unexpected trouble, 
and I'd prefer not to discuss it at pres 
ent.” 

ils words were stiff, colorless, 

‘Tresecott contemplated him a moment 
in bewilderment, Then he smiled, 
shrugged and turned away, He recog: 
nized the symptoma plainly enough 
now and knew just how to deal with 
the patient, 

There was a constrained stress of 
allence, Trescott had gone to an open 
window, but he came back and stood 
looking down at Haldane's sphinx-dike 
form with sympathetic mien, He 
gianced down at the desk where the 
other had lald the girl's photograph, 
After a pause he bent and took It up, 
restoring it to its conspleuous strong: 
hold on the top of his desk, Haldane 
watched him in ominous silence, bis 
fingers tingling pugnaciously as Trea- 
cott paused to cast @ fatuous emilo 
into the girl's—his girl'’s--pietured face, 

“Pretty girl, that, don’t you think?” 
he asked carelessly, 

“Quite pretty,” acquiesced Haldane, 
glowering through the window, “Good 
friend of yours?’ He held back the 
eneer by an effort, 

“Oh, the very best, Theo's the dear. 
est little girl ever, We simply adore 
each other,” 

Haldane shot up electrically and 
started toward the door, pulling out 
his watch with a prodigious assump- 
tlon ef alarm. 

“By George,” he exclaimed, “T'vo al- 

‘wt missed an important appoint- 


Tlis quick steps sounded down the 
polished corridor, and Trescott sat 
down In the vacated chair before his 
desk, shaking bis head and smiling 
indulgently at the recollection of the 
other's explosiveness. He gave him, 
mentally, about ten days to recuperate. 

It was more than a month before 
Haldane encountered Bert Trescott 
again, The latter came into his office 
late in the afternoon with the lumi 
nous annewncement of bis approaching 
aappiness, 

“Lam to be married on the 24d of 
June,” he sald. “Congratulate me!" 

And, despite the fact that Haldane 
had fancied himself “done with the 
whole blamed business,” he was acute- 
ly conscious of bis vanishing color as 
he answered: 

“Of course I congratulate you. You 
fre just the sort of fellow girls go 
erazy over, and as for Theodora”— 

“Theodora! Don't talk drivel, man, 
What on earth are you driving at?”

DRAGGING THE ROAD. 


How the Highways Can Be Improved 
At Small Expense. 


In writing of the road drag in Motor 
News D. ©. Wing of Missouri says: 
It takes a courageous man to start 
something new in a farming commu- 
nity. As a class we farmers resist in- 
novations almost to the extent of 
making ourselves absurd in the eyes 
of an intelligent public. It is surpris- 
ing with what bulldog tenacity we 
hang to traditions, old methods and 
scrub stock. But the drag is sweep- 
ing. us toward a brighter day. 
ragged after each rain, when the 
mud works nicely and does not stick 
to the drag, a road will acquire during 
the season such a thick, compact 
“hide” that it will turn water, resist 
the action of frost and remain hard 
and smooth throughout the year. The 
more it is traveled the better it will 
be, provided it is dragged after each 
rain. Every time the dust paste is 
spread over the surface and then

DAIRY FARMING. 


It Furnishes a Harvest ‘That Lasts 
All the Year. 


Dairy farming, which has been hap- 
pily designated “the harvest that laste 
all the year,” enters into the field of 
manufacturing more than any other 
farming pursuit, since the dairy 
farmer furnishes product. It enters 
both into live stock raising and gen- 
eral farming and for the greatest suc. 
cous demanda that those who follow 
it shall have a thorough as well as 
practical knowledge of the breeding 
and raising of animals, no less than 
the planting, cultivating and harvest 
ing of farm crops. 

An important Advantage. 

Whole nations, as Denmark and 
Holland, and whole states, as New 
York and Wisconsin, have been made 
attention to dairy

Care of Work Horses. 

Many persons after driving their 
teams in the slush and mud think if 
they dash a fow pails of water over 
the horses’ limbs upon returning they 
have left the poor brutes in the beat 

ible condition until morning. The 
act is it would be far better to turn 
the animals into the stable and leave 
them, mud and all, until their legs 
are fully. dry, There would be less 
danger of seratehes, mud fevers and 
grease heels than by the plan of wash- 
ng. If the legs are washed they 
should be rubbed quite dry, which |s 
no easy task, If loft partially dry the 
most serious consequences are likel 
to follow. When a team is left with 
the hair partially dry a chill is sure 
to ensue. It in not unlikely the ani-

FACTS ABOUT BUTTER. , 


How This Delicious Substance le Pre- 
duced From Mil«. 

Butter is a delightful, almost Indis- 
pensable, substance, without which 
bread and some other things would lose 
their attractiveness for most of us, but 
not one person in a hundred can tell 
exactly what it is and how it is pro- 
duced from milk. 

Here is the whole thing briefly told: 
Butter is the fatty part of milk, It 
consists of minute globules covered 
with albumen, When the milk is ab 
lowed to stand for about twenty-four 
hours, these globules rise to the top 
and form what we call cream, 

Once upon a time, we don't know ex 
actly at what epoch, a camel was cat 
rying milk In bottles made of skin. 
When the caravan or procession of 
whatever it was balted for a rest and @ 
lunch, it was found that the milk had 
turned partly to butter, though that Is 
not the name they gave to the mass. 
The man or men that made this dis- 
covery were able even In that early 
age of the world to put two and two 
together and make four.

or commodity concluded that it was 
formed by the jolting given to the mil 
by the camel's gait, and that is the 
origin of our modern churning process, 
To make butter, therefore, we take 
the cream that forma on the top of the 
milk, put it into a churn and shake 
and agitate it until the albumen that 
covers the globules of fat Is brokem, 
When the albumen breaks, the fatty 
globules come together as one Mase 
and that is butter!—Chicago News. * 


The Blind Man's Wand. 

This ta another way of playing blind 
man's buff and is thought by many te 
be an Improvement on that game. 

The player who ts blindfolded stands 
in the center of the room with a long 
paper wand, which can be made of a 
newspaper folded up lengthways and 
ted at each end with string. The other 
players then join hands and stand 
around him tn a cirele, 

Some one then plays a merry tune 
on the plano, and the players dance 
round and round the blind man, until 
suddenly the musle stops, The blind 
man then takes the opportunity of low- 
ering his wand npon one of the circle, 
and the player upon whom It bas fallea 
has to take bold of It. 

The blind man then makes a polse, 
such as, for instance, the barking of a 
dog, a street ery, or anything be thinks 
will cause the player be has caught te 
betray himaelf, as the captive must lm

goes on until he succeeds,

LONDON’S SMART SET. 


, 
Father Vaughan Again Attacks Their 
Foibles and Sins, 


Before a great congregation which 
filled every part of his beautiful West 
London church, Father Bernard 
Vaughan commenced a course of 
Lenten sermons dealing further with 
the sins of amart society. 

“We live in a time,” he said, “when 
the worfd haa discovered that there 
ia no such thing as ain. In churches, 
in current literature, in drawing-room 
conversations, in clubs — everywhere 
we are reminded that we have passed 
from the shadows of dogma into the 
illumination of science. 

“In some of the churches,” the 
seathing voice from the pulpit con- 
tinued, ‘we are told that there was no 
Fall; that the Atonement is a fable 
We like to hear these things, The 
world indulging ite sina ia like a 
naughty boy who hopes that there is 
no God, 

“It would be an injustice, many 
people might think, to say that pur- 
chasing things for which they do not 
intend to pay is a ain, or ordering 
beautiful things and sending them 
back next day after having worn them 
the previous evening. 

“Why,” he cried, with a contempt 
nous ring in his voice, “there are 
Weat-end ladies who can give points 
to the West Ham guardians 

“Rut I am not concerned with this 
forthe moment. T am concerned with 
graver evils, What of this vile com- 
petition with France for the lowest 
Birthrate in Europe; this emulation of 
America to find excuses for throwing 
off marringes in order to enter better 
financial itions.” 

Concluding, Father Vaughan vehe- 
mently warned his hearers against 
“dancing down to hell.” “T muat tell 
‘ou these things,” he cried, his voice 
oarse and tremulous with emotion 
“T must have your attention, You 
must pause and pull up before you 
reach that spiral staircase,’ 


Fenian's Romance. 


Fenian excitement in the early 
eighties is recalled by the reappear- 
ance Roscommon of a man who 
mysteriously disappeared 26 years 


0. 
erie name is Farrell, and he was 
known locally as ‘Whaer,” He was 
understood to be acony identified 
with the Fenian Brotherhood, and to 
have come under the suspicion of the 
leaders of the movement. In all prob- 
ability he received a warning, for he 
disappeared suddenly, leaving his wife 
and children behind him, Nothin 
more had been heard of him until 
last week; but he has now returned 
to Roscommon a weathy man, 

The curious part of the story is that, 
although Farrell has been identified 
by his old neighbors, his wife and 
family have up to now repudiated 
him, 


Origin of Hockey, 
It is probable that the little hop 
the street who calls a hockey stic 

‘olf club is caly sppeking the truth 

w centuries late. There are 
many reasons to believe that the 
Beotch game of golf, sometimes called 
bandy 1 in id accounts of it 
devel: into hockey with a flavor of 

1 about it when it came south, 
and this is borne out by an old fil- 
teenth century print of two bandy-ball 
players in which the stick used, call- 
ed dy because bent, resembled a 
hockey stick far more than a golf 
club. The Gentleman's Magazine, in 
1795, also mentions shinty as a Scotch 
game similar to golf, and another writ 
er defines obinty as ‘an inferior kind 
of { played by young people, and 
in jan hockay.

In 1808 an | seed 


in the Canadian Northwest this year. 

Flax matures more quickly than 
wheat and may consequently be sown 
later. New settlers who have only 
been able to sow a small acreage of 
wheat can, after the wheat is sown, 
break up more land for flax seed. 
The seed may be sown as late as the 
middle of June, although May ts con 
sidered the best month, In fact flax 
seems to wait the farmer's con 
venience, It can sown early oF 


{j late, and as it is lees liable to injury 


from weather than any of the other 
cereals, it may be harvested after the 
wheat, oate and barley have been 
gathered in. 

Flax seed ts especially well adapted 
for newly-broken land, Prof, Shaw of 
the University of Minnesota, former! 
one of the professors of the Agricu 
tural College at Guelph, Ont, says in 
reference to this: “The influence of 
the flax crop is helpful to the quick 
reduction of the prairie sod, owjng to 
the peculiar nature of the fibrous 
growth of the roots, These, penetrat- 
ing every part, reduce the soil to @ 
disintegrated pulverulent mass, whieh 
is greatly favorable to the growth of 
the succeeding grain crop other than 
flax. It has also been noticed that 
good crops of flax follow the breaking 
up of a sod field. Whyt For the 
same reasons that good crops of flax 
are grown on new breaking, The 
ylelds from crops grown on common 
sod land broken up are usually 14 
#0 as on new breaking, because 
the elements of fertility are not usu 
ally present to the same extent,”

Britishers Should Look With Pride 
Upon Race’s Organizing Genius. 


The London Chronicle commenting 
on the approaching session of the Co- 
lonial Conference, says: 

Among the events of peace which 
may happen in the Empire, it would 
be difficult. to imagine one more im- 

ortant, or of better om ty’ than the 

mperial Conference—as Sir Charles 
Dilke well named it in Parliameut 
during a recent debate—which will 
assemble this month, when the Prime 
Ministers of the great ts 
Btates which are “The Britains te- 


‘ond the seas,” will be the guests of 
¢ British nation in ion. No 
example could, in fact, 


more 

be given of us of the race for 
f ng free and flourishing com- 
munities, and maintaining, through 
independence, that fraternity which 
alone can save a great Empire trom 


disruption. 

The British race has reason to think 
with pride of the development of the 
Imperial Conference, whose third 
meeting will be held within a few 
oor Everyone knows that good- 
will will be the dominant note of the 
gathering. The most delicate subjecta 
may be and will be brought up for 
debate; but the discussion will take 
place in an atmosphere of genial Im- 
perial patriotism which 1 keep 
clear of acrimony. jom and fra- 
ternity have proved sueh good guides 
that there is no anxious imposition of 
limita to the scope of the agenda pa 
per. Problems not only vital but com- 
plex will be raised—the constitution 
ef the Committee of Imperial Defense, 
and the question of the representation 
of Mo Britains promens . Lemos the 
naval agreemen A, an 
the difficult questions of joint naval 
7 orisiog. out of it; the organiza- 

ion of local forces for war in connec 
tion with a scheme of Imperial de- | 
fence; and, even more controversial 
than those difficult matters, the great 
question of preferential trading. 

Another issue almost overshadows 
t . The conclusion of the New 
Hebrides Convention and the estab- 
lishment by the Home Ministry of the | 
modus vivendi in the dispute between |

A Story of a Persian Monarch That 
Pointe a Moral. 

Once upon a time a certain king of 
Persia went out hunting with all his 
court. The chase that day happened 
to be long, and the king became very 
thirsty. But no fountain or river could 
be found near the spot on the plain 
where they rested for a short interval 
At last one of the courtiers spied a 
large garden not far off. It was filled 
with trees bearing lemons, oranges and 


grapes. His followers begged the 
monarch to partake of the good things 
in the gardea. 


“Heaven forbid that I should eat 
anything thereof,” said the king, “for 
if I permitted myself to gather but an 
orange from it my officers and court 
lets would not leave a single fruit 
in the entire garden.” 

The higher in life a person is the 
more careful he should be, for all his 
faults are copied by those beneath 
bhim.—Chatterbox, 


Mysteries of Planting. 

The devices adopted by nature for 
securing the planting and distribution 
of seeds are very interesting. Some 
seeds have wings, so that they may be 
carried away as far as possible in fall 
ing from the parent plant. Others, like 
those of the milkweed and dandelion, 
may be anid to be provided with bak 
loons, Inasmuch as they are made se 
light by feathery appendages that they 
are readily drawn up to great heights 
by warm currents of air, Asttonomers 
used to mistake the floating seeds of 
the milkweed for meteors until a noted 
star gazer set his telescope at a near 
focus and was thas enabled to examine 
the floating vegetable germs that pass 
ed across the fleld of view. Certain 
burs are seed veasels that are provid- 
ed with tiny books in order that they 
may catch in the fur of animals and 
carried afar, 


Queer Crabs, 

There are some queer crabs tn the 
world. The soldicr crab of Bermuda 
carries heavy shells ap the hill, A 
shore crab oa the Cape Verde islands 
may be seen running along like @ 
plece of paper blown by a strong wind. 
There are crate in Ascension island 
that steal young rabbits from their 
heats, and the robber crab of the Mhik- 
pe cracks cocoanuts and eats 
therm.

Mistakes In War, 

In the Bull Ron defeat McDowell 
laid the blame on Patterson, In the 
battles around Richmond Lee's plana 
failed on account of Huger’s lethargy. 
At Pitteburg Landing Grant would 
have been successful but for Wallace, 
At Gettysburg Lee's hands were tied 
by the dilatoriness of Stuart. And #o 
on from the foundation of the world 
to the present time. Ut has been sald 
by writers on the art of war that every 
battle Is a series of mistakes, There 
mistakes are made on both aides and 
are the cause of victory as well as de 
feat. It is almost amusing to think of 
the numberless good and sufficient rea- 
sons that Shafter could have given if 
he had been defeated In Cuba, If Ja 
pan bad been worsted In the Russo 
Japanese war, one result would have 
been that Oyama would have writ- 
ten the book of lamentations and ex- 
cuses instead of Kuropatkin,
